Nothing. You seem to not have installed the right mysql rpms. To compile and
run snort with mysql support you need at a minimum the rpms
mysql-3.23.41-1.i386.rpm and mysql-devel-3.23.41-1.i386.rpm. If the database
is also located on the same pc you also have to install
mysql-server-3.23.41-1.i386.rpm. mysql.h can then be found at
/usr/include/mysql/mysql.h.

Try
./configure --with-mysql
without any directory, this has worked for me (although I think this
shouldn't be an issue with snort 1.8.6 anymore, not quite sure).

HTH,
Sandro
